DRILLING REPORT – 8 JANUARY 2004
WELL NAME: SE Moran 1x (PPL 219)

December was 486 metres. As at 06:00 on 8 January 2004, 9-5/8” casing was being
run in preparation for drilling ahead to the target Toro and Digimu Sandstones.
SE Moran 1x is an exploration well planned to test a separate prospect at the
southeastern end of the Moran complex. It is being drilled as a vertical well.
The participants in this well are:
Oil Search 72.52%
Ampolex 18.73%*

Search Limited is carrying Ampolex’s costs for this well and is
entitled to Ampolex’s interest. Ampolex has the right to back-in
to a SE Moran discovery under agreed commercial terms.
Is the statement in the next report: "andstones, encountered between ~1,847 and 1,905 metres, confirmed this reservoir
objective to be water-bearing." Bad news??? I'm not quite o'fay about drill reports.

Prior to running the 9-5/8” casing, electric logs run across the Upper Qishn S2
Sandstones, encountered between ~1,847 and 1,905 metres, confirmed this reservoir
